Crohn's disease is a systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) of unknown cause, that results in chronic inflammation of the intestinal tract. It can affect the entire gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus, and can also cause complications outside of the gastrointestinal tract.

Fever and heavy bleeding

So I lost a ton of blood yesterday. I mean, it was literally shooting out in a steady stream like a super soaker (water gun). Raised the toilet water by a few inches and when I flushed, the water color never changed from dark red even with all the water coming in. Anyway, I spiked a massive fever. Got a thermometer today and my temp was up to at least 102. Last night was way way worse. My hands and feet were freezing, then I threw on a bunch of blankets and went super hot. My chest was so hot I had to take my hand away. Anyone else get a fever like that after heavy blood loss? My muscles all seized up like I'd just run a marathon.

I would have gone to the ER you poor thing! A fever of 102 as an adult it horrible! I had a sepses infection and had a fever of 102 and it was so so miserable! We had the heat up in my room and I was covered in blankets shivering! How are you feeling now? I hope you are better.

I agree with Ashely. This isn't normal in any way, shape or form. There's a certain amount of illness and feeling unwell that we have to tolerate because it's the nature of IBD, but I don't think this instance is one of them. I really hope you're feeling better. Let us know what's going on.

If you still have a fever, I would go to the ER or your GI doctor. You don't want to take any chances with an infection or other complications. I hope you start to feel better soon. Please keep us posted.

Most of it passed. Still get lightheaded if I try and stand more than a minute or two. My fever was down to 99.8 at 6 or 7 this morning, dropped to 97.5 a few hours later. I'm still a little terrified to eat anything, though. Ate an egg this morning and that was the first since Saturday afternoon. I was still bleeding a good deal after the first major episode and didn't want to tear things open again.

You definitely need to go to your dr, asap! That could be something else going on. Even if it was just a bad flare you probably need to have your blood levels checked. It could also be a symptom of something else going on. We are all so used to feeling bad sometimes we ignore things we shouldn't. Hope you feel better soon!

I have a toxic family, (parents and sister) who always enforce their views and opinions like they're facts and want to be right. I am nothing like them. I have an aunt who is a very peaceful, empathetic soul...we get along well and she is like a diamond in the rough in my family. Anyway, I am planning on moving back to my home city and had organised to stay with my aunt. My family are paranoid...

At the end of Oct, I had 3 DVT clots which broke apart and caused many clots on both sides of my lungs. I'm a runner, and my breathing felt strange so I went to the ER. I was on birth control pills.I came home 2 days later with Xaralto and have been taking it since. My hemo did bloodwork a couple weeks in and found lupus anticoagulant, but said I would need to be tested again in Feb and go...
